Paris Night Refugees.

The Town Council of Paris has lately
opened several night shelters, each OF
which has accommodation for several
hundred outcasts. When applicants ar
rive at these homes, where they may
remain several days ut time, they get
u thorough overhauling in II bath, and
are then given II fresh outfit and bowl
of soup. There are three other night
refugees belonging to the Euvre de / Hos
pitalite de Mutt, established in 1873.
This work is kept up by voluntary con-
tributions. 1t receives cast-of' clothing,
bread, and all sorts of crumbs from rich
mems tables for distribution. In addi-
ton to providing nightly lodging for
the miserable, it receives the GONZALES
cent from hospitals and finds places for
those who are willing to work. Last
year it received 10000 homeless crea-

CLOUDLANO.

In the twilight of the dawning with the rays of

Come the pale ay.clouds of morning, specter-
like when night has ceased
Rising with the rising splendor and the glory Of
the East;
Like the rosy flush of childhood, or the tint on
ocean shell,
spreading DER the vast expenses, touching
mountain, height and dell,
AS Aurora's rosy bushes quickly shades OF
gloom dispel.
Drawing sweet, refreshing GOODNESS from the
Zcphyrs floating nigh.
Soft and white as wool fresh carded, drift the
clouds of noontide by,
Natures shields to guard the heritage from the
heat and sun Of Sky.
Banked up high in crimson splendor inter
spersed with bars of gold,
Mountains, gorgeous in their col'ring, grand as
Prandcst scene can hold
Lie the sunset clouds OF evening, shining lust
rous, fold on fold.
o. We radiant clouds of evening! mortal vision

INSTALL
Who could look on We and question the suprem-
est light OF all:
Fast the rain descends in torrents, and the
thunders, crashing roll:
Light'nings cleavc the heavy storm clouds till
il seems from pole to pole
That the vivid glcams are flashing like the radi-
ance of a soul.
Fairer than all art can picture, grander than all
themes portray,
Are those clouds, when once the fury of the
tempests swept away
And the clear, blue depths of ether yield to
Luna's regal sway.
Then each darken'd. heavy border silver moon
beams gently kiss,
Till the light that shines around them seems a
deep reflected bliss
OF the fairer, purer luster of another world than
this
AS the rosy beams ofmorning herald childhood 5

And the shielding clouds of noontide guard its
youth from folly s rays;
So the grander clouds of evening, with their

Speak a broader deeper knowledge, and man

Then the twilight of life:s seasons calmly come
and calmly go;
Happy they for whom its storm clouds can a

BORING FOR GAS.
Difficulties Experienced in Managing and
Controlling Powerful Wells.


Boring for gas is exactly like boring
for OIL in all its workings; but the after
operations of pumping and packing, as
in the case of some oil-wells to raise
the oil, are not necessary in gas-wells.
If the gas is there, it will come up of its
own free will and accord, and come
with Il rush, blowing tools and every
thing else out of the well before it. In
deed, gas men would often be us glad
to keep their treasure down as oil men
are to get theirs up. The great pres
sure at which it is confined in the earth,
and the corresponding force with which
it escapes from the well. makes it some
what hard to manage or control. This
pressure is enormous-as high as five
hundreds pounds to the square inch in
some cases where it has been guaged.
In the great McGugin well, which was
not guaged, the pressure is estimated
to have reached eight hundred pounds
to the square inch. Any attempt
to confine the gas in this well
for the purpose of measuring it
would doubtless have resulted in send
ing the iron casing flying from the well,
Grin producing other effects more start
lngand costly than satisfactory or agree
able. Indeed, until recently, no plan
had been devised by which the flow of
gas from well could be stopped or re-
luced. The quantity of gas that
escapes from some wells is enormous,
but probably no correct estimate of it
has yet been made. Where the gas is
''piped'' away to mills and houses, all
hat comes from the well may be used;
but if it is not all used, the remainder
must be allowed to escape into the air.
This is done ut the regulator. where it
s burned. The regulator is an ar
'angement of pipes and valves, placed
between the gas-wcll and the town sup
olied with the gas. 1t allows only just

A Girls Idea of Horse Power.

There is no little amusement in a certain
electric light establishment in Boston over
the ingenious explanation of n mistake
made by girl stenographer and typewriter.
Girl stenographers, by the way, occasional
ly make an odd mistake when they know
nothing whatever about the matter that
they are taking This particular one had
had a technical letter TO some expected Gus
toner dictated to her, and had produced
a neatly written typewriter copy of it for
the head Of the firm TO look over. He looked
it over.
''See here" said he, after he had read a
little, you make Mr.. say here that wa
guarantee to give twelve lights TO every
horse power. Now. inasmuch as our circu-
lars guarantee TO give only eight lights 10
every horse power, don't believe that Mr..
- ever could have promised to give these
people twelve lights.p
''Oh, Mr. - certainly said soW

The Roman Metropolis Near Seville.
From the st. jones Gazette.


Mr.. George Bonsor, writing from Mont
Joye, Ghistelles, Belgium, gives some de-
tails about the discovery of a Roman ne
cropolis at Carmona, near Seville About
SIX years ago, he says, he and a Spanish
gentleman, Don Juan Fernandez purchased
the two plots of land known as the Quar-
ries and the Olive Groves, situated at ashort
distance west of Carmona, and commenced
our excavations. Upon this site were some
curious shaped mounds which we afterwards
found to be tumui of a prehistoric age.
Round these mounds the Romans had for
centuries hewn small chambers out of the
rock to serve as family tombs. These are
from four to five yards square and the
height of a man. In the walls are small
cavities or inches for the cinerary urns, each
of which last generally contains, besides the
ashes of the dead, coin, mirror, ZACH
rymary, needles, stylus and tabula, and
signet ring. The walls are mostly painted
in fresco or distemper in the Pompeiian
style, with representations of birds, dolphins
and wreaths of flowers. Near the entrance
of each tomb is the crematorium, a curious
oven also hewn out of the rock, on the sides
of all of which signs of fire are still visible.
Up to the present time about 320 tombs have
been discovered. They are disposed in groups,
some round the tumuli, some near the Ro-
man quarries and on both sides of the Ro-
man roads, two OF when ran from Carnona
to Seville through the metropolis. Mr.. Bon
sor goes ON to say that the most important
discoveries have been made near the Roman
roads-namely, a columbarium and three
large triclinia for the funeral banquets,
with the popularity that in each deep
channel is cut all round the mensa into
which the guests threw tae libations. The
largest funeral trinclium discovered con-
tains three tables, with their couches round,
the one for winter use being in ball, an
other in the sun, and the third, for the sum-
mer, being in the shade. In addition to these
there is an altar, tomb with its cinerary
urns, a kitchen, bath, well and sane
tuary. in which is a stone statue Last year
about fifty yards from this triclium, Ro-
man amphitheatre, also hewn out of the
rock. was discovered
